[QUOTE="Vlos, post: 1533712, member: 15447"] Hmmm... Interesting in that no one mentioned History (at least not that I saw). Most of what was said is very good, but I feel History is important as well. This is often fleshed out with adventures as the party learns the history through adventuring. But to be consistant I feel you need to plan a bit of history. You don't need every battle, war, etc, but having a rough idea of major civilizations or era's is nice. This probably isn't a starting requirement, but comes into play as the PC's explore. This also gives you a background drop for some of the major villians that may have been around for thousands of years. Though the party would probably not meet these major villians directly for a very long time, they may meet the lackies or lackies of lackies of the major bad guy. Having some of this mapped out before hand makes it easier. [/QUOTE]
